I stopped at the new West Benton Street location. It's a very nice showroom with plenty of selection and convenient parking. The sales people are friendly and know the products well.

Bought a nice used scooter for my son. Process was quick and informative. Shout out to Trevor, Brennen and Tyler for helping us put together a trailer hitch to transport it home safely. I really appreciated all of their help. My son is thrilled with his scooter.

Worked here for two years. Some of the most kind and generous staff I ve ever worked with before. Tyler is a great owner who always looks out for the customer. They have an awesome selection of wolf brand scooters as well as a great service and sales departments. I would highly recommend this business if you are looking to get your moped serviced or if you re in the market for a new scooter! UScoots is for real!

Had a 2006 Vespa and loved it. Went to University Scooters to upgrade to a 2021 300cc and went back 4 days later to buy a second. Staff is super friendly and I can not stress how low pressure they were. I hate pushy Sales Reps. They truly are about the customer and I will always take my business there

I ve always had great experiences with all staff members at University Scooters! Everyone is so friendly and helpful! They are definitely the best and most honest scooter shop in all of Iowa City. I was especially thankful for their services tonight as I locked my moped key inside my moped very stupid I know. After calling the police and many locksmiths, no one would help me. I thought I had lost all hope until I gave University Scooters a call. The owner drove out of his way to help me get my moped seat open! He was so kind & extremely diligent!

Thanks to Tyler and his staff. I will be able to own and ride a Vespa, the best scooter made. After 2 other dealerships either didn't want to do the service. Or did it wrong, Tyler at University scooters took care of me. He did my pre delivery inspection which was never done at the other dealership. And he did the full service according to the manual and backed it up with paperwork and signed my books. Dealership Dealership and did a first full service with paperwork to back it up I could not have been happier. I I liked them so much I bought a second scooter fr I bought the picnic one fifty and I now have six hundred and twenty nine miles on itom them So I'll be bringing it back to university scooters right awa And I know that I will get the proper service with paperworky Thank you tyler trevor and alex

Smooth transaction, clean showroom. Lots of inventory. Made us feel confident in maintenance and all aspects of the new scooter. Hats off to Tyler and crew for a stress free purchase.

This place is the best moped/scooter store in Iowa City forsure!! The service exceeds expectations and the staff are soo friendly and helpful. They genuinely care about their customers, while also creating a fun environment. I love that they give back to the community by hiring student workers and donating money to charities. I was thrilled with the services and the scooter I got from here. You guys are awesome!! 10/10 recommend :)

Super friendly staff! We went just to look around. My husband previously owned a motorcycle but I had no " two wheel" experience. They explained everything and let us test drive as many scooters as we wanted, even multiple times to compare. They let us know all of our options, guiding us with information but they were never pushy. We LOVE our scooters and put over 100 miles on them in just the first week!

Great staff here, always willing to go ABCD (above and beyond call of duty) to take care of their customers. My wife has been bringing her moped here since she got it six years ago and it's still going strong thanks to their maintenance.

UScoots was great to shop with. Hannah answered all my questions and helped me greatly in the decision making process. Pretty seamless purchase. The folks in the back were a bit keen to get me out of there and left me to strap it in myself not a big deal for me but for others not used to hauling would need a little more coaching.

I cannot recommend University Scooters enough! The staff there knows their stuff and are kind people to be around, and whenever I had an issue with one of the multiple scooters I owned, they were always there to help with whatever it was. Their prices are fair, and the service work is done well and in a timely manner. The owner Tyler is extremely passionate about scooters, and I can tell he cares more about the customers and their experience on their scooter than many other places you can buy from. Thanks again!

Friendly and helpful employees, I believe the guy I worked with was named Cole? He was able to answer all my questions and helped me every step of the way, from purchasing to loading it in my van.

We had the BEST experience at University Scooters! We had been looking for a safe and sound scooter for months when we came across University Scooters. I called them with a bunch of questions because this is all new to me and they were so patient and knowledgeable. We ended up purchasing a VERY nice scooter and the young man who delivered it was organized, thorough and kind. You cannot beat University Scooters - excellent customer service, excellent scooters and excellent prices!

My daughter took the online course for her moped license. When her certificate got lost in the mail I reached out via email, University Scooters responded within an hour, were super helpful, and immediately mailed a new certificate. Every question I've had they've answered and my daughter enjoyed the course and found it easy to follow along. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

University Scooters is an amazing business driven by genuine care for their customers, honest advice, personalized flexibility, and humble customer service. Tyler was unbelievably kind to me throughout the whole process and told me about any options he could find to help save me money. He even went out of his way to send me information on a $500 discount for nurses. If I haven t convinced you yet, University Scooters is local student owned and operated. It s truly the best choice for making any scooter purchase!! Highly recommend!

Update. I just purchased my second moped from University Scooters. My first was a Wolf Islander. I traded it in with 6,000 miles on it. I never had any problems out of it other than routine maintenance. Tyler gave me a good deal on my trade in for a new Wolf EX 150. Still, and will continue to be, a valued customer of University Scoots.

Bought a moped from MopedU. Service was excellent. Tyler, our salesman, was very informative and willing to work out a deal for us. He was thorough and a good communicator. Diverse inventory helped us get just what we wanted for our tastes and price range. Looking forward to getting service done in future and recommend this business. Thanks, Tyler, for making this experience easy for us and enjoyable, too! :-)

Had a great experience shopping here. I talked with both Casey and Caleb, and they both did a great job. Normally purchasing a car or moped is difficult, but they both made my buying experience flawless. I couldn t have had a better experience looking for a moped. Would highly recommend University Scooters to anyone looking for one in the area.

We were in search of a specific color and style of Vespa. Because of Tyler and his crew's responsiveness, we decided to purchase from US even though they were five hours from our home. The customer service has been outstanding and follow through even better. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Jake drove the scooter in his pickup from Iowa out to the Chicago suburbs. He thoroughly explained its operation to my wife who'd never driven one before. He had her riding up and down the block in less than an hour. He also stressed the importance of lessons before taking it into traffic. Then he carefully explained winter maintenance and storage. He was very impressive, as was Tyler who spent a lot of time on the phone explaining the various options available. Great people to do business with.

I got my moped in July of 2018 when it was still MopedU and it is still one of the best purchases I have ever made. The staff are warm, welcoming and will work to find what you are looking for! They make the environment family oriented and I would rather have that compassion than just a regular service shop. I have recommended them to just about anyone looking for a moped or service. Can't thank them enough!

They don't even deserve this one star! Customer service was horrible! They treat their employees like crap (yelling at a employee while outside the store). Had to wait around for two hours for them! Then we made a deal over the phone before i drove a hour away they looked over my bike and test drove it. And said we have a deal and went in to cut the check and trade they changed their mind! Seems like a bunch of kids pretty much run the business. Good luck getting ahold of the owner also! Never is there and never answers his phone. Will never spend a penny at this place. And I'd advise you not too!

This place was amazing for service and products. Toren helped us learn about our scooter and helped us load them in the back of our truck. He didn t rush us through the process and wasn t pushy on getting us to purchase anything. We would recommend to anyone of our friends or family without hesitation.
